Philippines

Working to survive

With 102 million inhabitants, the Philippines is one of the largest countries in the world. More than half are under 24 years of age. Because of poverty many children have to work. They are extra vulnerable to (sexual) exploitation and child trafficking. 

Children have to work at a young age to help the family. Or are sexually exploited and sold like stuff. Sexual exploitation is a big problem. In tourism but also online.  We fight against child exploitation in the Philippines.

We offer children a safe place, education, medical help and legal support. We help arrest and prosecute perpetrators. We take action with governments and educate communities about children's rights.
